37 weeks today, spotty contractions, went to hospital for ph strips turning blue after checking ph of leaking fluid. Thought it was amniotic fluid. I’m 5cm dilated and they are sending me home (amniotic fluid test negative) and they want me to progress further before getting checked in. Glad I’m not leaking fluid but bummed it’s not happening yet! #37weeks #5cmdilated #hurryup
40+3 went to my appt I’m only 1cm dilated they are saying my amniotic fluid is low (4cm) and they are recommending an induction. I really want to avoid pitocin what are some ways to get my labor started naturally? I have an appointment on Monday to check fluid levels again and if it’s still low I will suck it up and get induced

I was diagnosed with polyhydramnios (excess amniotic fluid). When diagnosed I was 26wks. Amniotic fluid level was 24 so I had to be scheduled to come back in in 2wks to be monitored. When I returned my levels dropped to 21. Now I'll be 34wks tomorrow and my levels are now 17, still high b/ not as high as before. I have not gained or lost any weight since being diagnosed. With that said, amniotic fluid levels are dropping b/ baby boy is picking up the weight. I am so thankful to God to have made progress for my baby boy because this has me so stressed and worried b/ I place it in His hands and I trust Him! Thank you Lord! #thankful #blessed #polyhydramnios #babyboy

I forgot to update y’all from yesterday. So I was not leaking amniotic fluid BUT the other concern was last Wednesday my fluid levels were perfect, they were always perfect every sonogram appointment when they would check. Last Wednesday the total fluid was 11 something & yesterday the total fluid was 8.37. Like I drink plenty of water & this is new to me besides with my daughter they induced me at 37 weeks for having low amniotic fluid at my sonogram appointment. If I drink wayyyy to much water I’ll start to feel nauseous but I drink at least 60-80 oz a day 🤦🏽♀️

Yesterday’s ultrasound ❤️ Still a little high on amniotic fluid levels and officially scheduled to be induced next Thursday at 8pm. One more appointment left before we meet our sweet girl - unless these contractions start getting more productive and she comes sooner!

My baby girl is getting baby fat 🥰. Growth scan is on Friday, my amniotic fluid levels look alright. I just can’t believe that she looks nothing like me, she’s like 100% her dad’s daughter lol.

Any specific tips on how to increase amniotic fluid levels (beside drinking more water). Thanks in advance
Ok Mama's anyone else ever experienced having polyhydrmnios... And need an amniocentesis to drain the extra fluid..? Happened to me today. I'm 35 weeks and have been battling this for a few weeks now. They took an extra 2 liters of amniotic fluid out to get me back to normal levels. Wasn't fun but it had to be done
